Riyan Parag was heavily targeted by trolls in the cricket world. Criticisms were bombarded at him for every move he made, and he struggled to respond effectively on the field. But after 3-4 years, in a game against Delhi Capitals last day, Riyan Parag played amazingly like he wanted to play.

He showed everyone what he's made of and even his mother was there to see him play so well. Riyan was named the best player of the match, and he got a bit teary when he talked after the game.

Riyan Parag showcased brilliance for Rajasthan, smashing 84 runs off 45 balls, which included 7 boundaries and 6 sixes. Notably, 25 runs were off the renowned South African bowler, Anrich Nortje. Despite Rajasthan struggling at 108-4 in 15 overs, Parag's exceptional performance propelled them to a total exceeding 180.

His determination and ambition were evident throughout the match, ultimately contributing to Rajasthan Royals who effectively defended the score and won the game. 

Parag became emotional

Parag became emotional during the post-game talk, revealing that he had been been trolled by everyone for past few years and couldn't answer them on the pitch. Today, with his mother here, this win feels personal to him. 

"Someone in the top four has to play the 20 overs, the wicket was keeping low and stopping, in the first game Sanju bhayya did it. I have worked very hard, the last 3 days I was in bed, I was on painkillers, I just got up today and I'm very happy."-Riyan talked in the post game talk.

Riyan Parag's mature behavior during the talk amused everyone, including captain Sanju Samson. If Parag maintains this momentum in his game, Rajasthan could go far this season, especially since they've already won both of their games.
